Jeremiah 3:24

But shame has consumed the labours of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.

Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

In Context

25We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God.
